Q1. 
Subtree of Another Tree Problem Statement
Given two binary trees, T and S, determine whether S is a subtree of T. The tree S should have the same structure and node values as a subtree of T.
Explanation:
...read more
Ans. 
Given two binary trees T and S, determine if S is a subtree of T with the same structure and node values.
• Check if the second tree is a subtree of the first tree by comparing their structures and node values.

• Use a recursive approach to traverse both trees and check for equality.

• Handle cases where one tree is null or the values do not match.

• Return true if S is a subtree of T, false otherwise.

Search in a Row-wise and Column-wise Sorted Matrix Problem Statement
You are given an N * N matrix of integers where each row and each column is sorted in increasing order. Your task is to find the positi...read more
Ans. 
Given a sorted N*N matrix, find the position of a target integer X.
• Iterate over each row and column to find the target integer X

• Utilize the sorted nature of the matrix to optimize the search process

• Return the position of X if found, else return -1 -1

Q1. 
Intersection of Linked List Problem
You are provided with two singly linked lists containing integers, where both lists converge at some node belonging to a third linked list.
Your task is to determine t...read more
Ans. 
Find the node where two linked lists merge, return -1 if no merging occurs.
• Traverse both lists to find their lengths and the difference in lengths

• Move the pointer of the longer list by the difference in lengths

• Traverse both lists simultaneously until they meet at the merging point

Q2. 
Problem: Pair Sum in a Binary Search Tree
Given a Binary Search Tree (BST) and an integer 'S', your task is to find all pairs of nodes within the BST that total to 'S' and return these pairs. If no such p...read more
Ans. 
Find pairs of nodes in a BST that sum up to a given value 'S'.
• Traverse the BST in-order to get a sorted list of nodes.

• Use two pointers approach to find pairs with sum 'S'.

• Keep track of visited nodes to avoid using the same node twice in a pair.

Q1. 
Is Binary Heap Tree Problem Statement
You are given a binary tree of integers. Your task is to determine if it is a binary heap tree or not.
Input:
The first line of input contains an integer ‘T’ denoti...read more
Ans. 
Determine if a given binary tree is a binary heap tree or not based on certain properties.
• Check if the binary tree is a complete binary tree where every level, except the last level, is completely filled and the last level is as far left as possible.

• Ensure that every parent node is greater than all its children nodes, forming a max-heap.

• If any node does not have a left or right child, it should be represented as -1 in ...read more

Q2. 
Edit Distance Problem Statement
Given two strings S and T with lengths N and M respectively, your task is to find the "Edit Distance" between these strings.
The Edit Distance is defined as the minimum nu...read more
Ans. 
The task is to find the minimum number of operations required to convert one string into another using delete, replace, and insert operations.
• Use dynamic programming to solve the problem efficiently.

• Create a 2D array to store the edit distances between substrings of the two input strings.

• Fill up the array based on the minimum of three possible operations: insert, delete, or replace.

• The final answer will be the value at...read more

Q1. 
Robot Delivery Path Problem
You are tasked with directing a robot from the top-left corner of an N*N matrix to a specified point (x, y), delivering a parcel. The robot is restricted to move only on flat a...read more
Ans. 
Determine if a robot can reach a specified destination in a matrix by moving only downwards or rightwards.
• Start at (0,0) and move towards the destination (x, y) only downwards or rightwards.

• Check if the path is clear (1) and avoid obstacles (0) while staying within matrix boundaries.

• Return true if the robot can reach the destination, false otherwise.

• Example: For input matrix [[1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 5]] with desti...read more

Q2. 
Unique Element in Array
Given an arbitrary array arr consisting of N non-negative integers where every element appears thrice except for one. Your task is to find the element in the array that appears onl...read more
Ans. 
Find the unique element in an array where every element appears thrice except for one.
• Use XOR operation to find the unique element.

• Iterate through the array and XOR each element to find the unique element.

• The XOR operation cancels out elements that appear thrice, leaving only the unique element.

• Example: arr = [2, 2, 3, 2], XOR of all elements = 3.

• Example: arr = [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 99], XOR of all elements = 99.

Calculate the distance between two nodes in a binary tree.
• Traverse the tree to find the paths from the root to each node

• Find the lowest common ancestor of the two nodes

Q3. Guard let statement when to use
Ans. 
Use guard let statement to safely unwrap optional values and handle nil cases.
• Use guard let to check if an optional value is nil before using it.

• It is commonly used to unwrap optionals in the beginning of a function.

• If the optional value is nil, the guard statement will exit the current scope.

• Example: guard let name = person.name else { return }
